"what political prisoners," he said.

[gunfire] he'd done it before, evading police for months before being caught last friday. investigators believe abdeslam played a central role in the paris attacks, and it intended to blow himself but changed his mind. now there's a new suspect, najim laachraoui, who may have been the group's bomb-makinger. his d.n.a. was found on the explosives used in the gun and suicide attacks in paris, his whereabouts are unknown. and prosecutors admitted they are not close to solving the puzzle. "we're working on an enormous amount of cases," said frederic van hoy. "they're becoming more and more worrying and violent." authorities can't explain how abdeslam was able to disappear for months only to be captured a few blocks from his home in a brussels neighborhood.

told us isis is becoming more sophisticated. what took so long in >> they knew everything about communication techniques. they hide. they have a network. it's professionals against professionals. >> reporter: but there is another reason abdeslam may have been able to hide in plain sight. according to anne speckard, an expert in violent extremeism, who has interviewed dozens of islamic radicals here. >> these are really horrible people that went to paris to gun people down, so it's not beyond them to punish anybody that would turn them in. >> reporter: prosecutors say abdeslam wasn't just in hiding, scott, he was planning further attacks. he's been at this high-security prison since saturday. his lawyer told us he is cooperating with investigators. >> pelley: charlie d'agata on the story tonight. charlie, thank you. now, there are 33 weeks before the presidential election. most americans believe that hillary clinton and donald trump will be the nominees, and

our new cbs news/"new york times" poll out tonight shows that 57% have an unfavorable opinion of trump, and for clinton, it's 52% unfavorable. in an election matchup, clinton would beat trump by ten points. bernie sanders would beat trump by 15. here's julianna goldman. >> this was considered one of the great buildings of washington, one of the great buildings in the country. >> reporter: rolling into the nation's capital today, donald trump made time to plug his namesake hotel under construction just blocks from the white house. >> if people want to be smart, they should embrace this movement. >> reporter: and he had a message for republicans working furiously to stop him: >> if they don't want to be smart, they should do what they're doing now, and the republicans are going to go down to a massive loss. >> reporter: but even as he confidently predicted he'll secure the g.o.p. nomination, the anti-establishment front-runner spent the day trying to make inroads with

west, which he insists will be his stronghold. >> now we're moving into territory where i think we go in as the favorite. a lot of the states that are out there are states that we can win and we can win by large margins. >> reporter: the clinton campaign doesn't dispute that, admitting in a recent memo that sanders is likely to win a series of upcoming caucuses. why? because caucuses, unlike primaries, require a time commitment of a couple hours, so they tend to reward candidates with the most enthusiastic supporters. even with her big delegate lead, clinton is having to spend big to fend off sanders. scott, she raised $30 million last month but ended up spending more than half of it on ads. >> pelley: aipac, of course, is the american-israel public affairs committee. nancy cordes, thank you very much. today in california, a young girl was taken from the only family she has ever known. a native american tribe won a
